Post-practice news, notes

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, September 9th, 2010 at 3:51 pm in Oakland Raiders.

News, notes, quotes and observations following Thursday’s media availablity sessions, practice and post-practice press briefing with coach Tom Cable:

– No surprise the Raiders will string out the official status of Michael Bush until Sunday.

Bush didn’t practice Thursday, but Cable said he might get in some work Friday morning before the team departs for Nashville and that he will be a “game time decision.”

At game time, Bush it will have been one day shy of two weeks since Bush had surgery to put screws in his left thumb.

– Others who didn’t practice were wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee), cornerback Walter McFadden (hamstring) and linebacker Travis Goethel (lower back). Defensive tackle Desmond Bryant (elbow) was limited.

– Left guard Robert Gallery, talking about the improvements in the Raiders offense, “We have new pieces around us and a quarterback that knows the system and gets rid of the ball. There is a new lease on this offense. We’re the same guys and if sacks are given up, it’s on us. But we have to go out and be good.”

True enough. If Campbell is sacked six times, they won’t have JaMarcus Russell to kick around anymore.

– Defensive coordinator John Marshall and his observations on rookie middle linebacker Rolando McClain: “I think he’s right there with Lofa Tatupu at this point. Lofa came in, just a tremendous aptitude for football. He understood football, and so does Rolando.

“Obviously his head coach at Alabama spent time with him and has schooled him real well. He understands concepts, he understands strengths and weaknesses, and of course, being big and fast, that helps. So he’s made a great transition.”

– Marshall on rookie defensive end Lamarr Houston: “On offense sometimes, not all the time, they’ll hold and do some things to upset him. And he’ll let ‘em know that’s not happening with this guy . . . yesterday he beat somebody in pass rush, I won’t say who, and he was just laughing like crazy.

“The next time, the offensive lineman was upset, he kind of halfway beat him again, and so the lineman threw him down. Well, (Houston) gets up, he’s laughing, and he says, `That’s what happens when you get beat, you get mad.’ ”

– Marshall is pleased about the versatility of his unit, noting that cornerback Jeremy Ware can play safety, Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch can line up at slot corner, that his defensive linemen can play both inside and outside and that his linebackers can function as pass rushers.

Which brings up the question as to whether the Raiders can be so versatile they lose sight of exactly what they do best.

“No, no, we make sure we’ve got go home to mama defenses,” Marshall said. “You know how mama makes you feel? She cooks for you, washes your clothes, it’s security in that mama’s home? Well, we’ve got things in mama’s home.”

– Marshall on moving cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to different areas of the defense: “Well, we put him inside last year, and brought him (on blitzes) , and he’ll be moving around, yeah, we’ll utilize him.”

– Linebacker Thomas Howard, speculated as trade bait and as a candidate to be released after losing his starting job, survived as a core special teams player and a player that defensive coordinator John Marshall said would play certain defensive packages including a “big nickel.”

Within the last year, Howard not only lost his starting job, but a chance at unrestricted free agency when the NFLPA and owners didn’t reach a collective bargaining agreement. During the NFL draft, one of Howard’s closest friends, Kirk Morrison, was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars after Oakland McClain.

Instead of waiting for the ax to fall, Howard carved out a niche for himself.

Special teams coordinator John Fassel said he singled out Howard during a unit meeting as a positive example.

“I said, ‘You could consider your predicament a demotion or an opportunity,’ ” Fassel said. “And his effort and his willingness to play on special teams and his performance to me has been outstanding.

“I couldn’t be happier with his willingness to contribute and be a part of that special teams because some people would take it as, ‘I used to be a starter and now I’m on special teams,’ but his attitude’s been great about it, so that’s been fun.”

Listening to Cable, it’s clear Howard was being watched very closely as to how he was handling the changes.

“That’s kind of the heartbeat of your team, issues like that,” Cable said. “That’s what makes your chemistry good or bad. He looked at as an opportunity, a different opportunity than he was used to, but I think it’s also kind of rekindled the fire in him.”

– Fassel on kickoff and punt returner Yamon Figurs: “I was with him his rookie season in Baltimore. He scored three times. (actually twice on returns). He’s a light, fast guy, and if he gets a crease then he’s somebody that has the speed that can score for you. So that’s exciting. I think that’s what he can bring for us as a dual punt returner and kickoff returner. And then he’s got his things he’s got to work on, but to me as a cover team, you’ve got to be a little bit concerned about his ability because of the speed.”

– Cable confirmed the Raiders worked out Bobby McCray, former defensive end for the Saints.

“We’ve had a number of guys in,” Cable said “(It’s) just to know who the player is and be familiar with it if it was necessary down the road.”

    ==================

    Yeah Sapps a c*nt. Bishes about this and that and rolls his stupid eyes anytime anyone mentions the Raiders. How long has it been since Warren was there to “collect the check”?

    What a tool.

    Jamie Dukes is another dou-che on there with his aggravating Uncle Tom grin telling everyone Jason Campbell’s doomed to fail because of a boat anchor named Darrius Heyward Bey…

    Same type of surgery doesn’t mean same knee same damage bro. More stress on J-Rich knees due to size and position etc…

    I’ve been a big fan of Mr. Bush as most of you well know, but with Mr. Fargas gone, Michael – doubtful and limited at best, with pure backups Mr. Bennet & Mr. Cartright; as well as going up against the best of his drafted class of RBs in C. Johnson.

    Darren should be motivated more than ever to be quick, run hard and fast, whether through or cutting and bursting by.

  176. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Extra defensive lineman will be answer to the heat and humidity of Tenn.

    also I do not think it will be a factor for Mr. McClain & Mr. Houston, since they came from Alabama & Texas.

  198. guest123 Says:

    I don’t understand why they made Scott starting DE over Shaughnessy. Scott is undersized to hold the edge, and the lead block will plow him over. There is no way that in any circumstance Scott is a benefit as a DE. He can’t cover worth a flip, and has horrible instincts at stopping the runner if faced with a one on one tackle. He’s about 40 lbs lighter than Shaughnessy who can at least hold the edge.

    Speaking of holding the edge, I think that Tommy Kelly has it right. In a recent interview with Steve Corkran, Kelly said, “I’d rather put eight or nine in the box and try to slow him down and put the game in Vince’s hands, even though Vince is an excellent athlete and a good quarterback,” Kelly said of Titans quarterback Vince Young. “I would rather take my chances with Vince than Chris Johnson, that’s just a fact.”

    Hell yeah, TK!!…from your lips to Marshall’s ears.

    We need to start Shaughnessy at DE, the entire line needs to be at least 300 lb+. The only thing Scott brings is an open invitation for Chris Johnson to test that weak edge. We need to rotate in the new guy Alford, and Henderson to keep the line fresh. We also need to get Thomas Howard back at the starting WLB spot. He’s the best coverage LB we got even if he is barely average by NFL standards.

    I am very frustrated by the demotion of Shaughnessy, but I am also not very happy about Yamon Figurs being our starting KR/PR guy. He has that “breakaway” potential or so gush idiot coaches son, John Fassel. Figurs sucks balls, and Fassel needs to be fired. JLH could do better, don’t know why Yamon made the opening 53 man roster, let alone a starting gig. And if Scott can’t prove he’s more than a one-trick pony, he needs to sent packing too.

    I’m fed up with last minute coaching changes, when it seemed that we were on to something in the preseason.

    end rant/

  199. Bob Marley Says:

    Put me on the record too….

    Titans 20 Raiders 23.

    On D: This may sound awful to many people but here’s what I think we should do, they have a great OL, trying to beat them one on one all the time won’t be easy so we need to play some sort of umbrella, conservative defense where we make sure CJ won’t break a long TD run or VY finds huge running lanes to scramble for first downs, let them work for every yard instead of hitting a couple of home runs early, then we need to lock down in the red zone a couple of times, limit them to FG’s and hopefully get a timely turnover at some point in the game.

    Offense: They are a strong, disciplined team, we’re not going to push them around on every play, we’ll need Zach Miller to catch a few balls and Louis Murphy to make a couple of big plays, but hopefully we can get our yards with screens, slants and short passes, get McFadden, DHB, JLH and Murphy on the open field so they have a shot to make people miss or break a tackle, just lining up and trying to overpower them won’t work, specially without Bush.

    CJ will get his yards, VY will scramble for a couple of first downs but we need to keep them from reaching the end zone, then we’ll have a shot, they won’t beat themselves unless VY throws a couple of picks (not unlikely) but we need to stay patient on offense, they are a well coached team, we need to show we are one too because talent-wise, it’s an even matchup.

    Agree with you on the DL rotation

    Shaughnessy will play PLENTY in WK1 man, don’t stress about that

    Howard to start? the only reason we kept him was due to his emergence on the special teams unit – I’d like to see what Groves can do before we label him a bust or out of position

    Guest123,

    fretting over who starts at RDE…rotations guarantee snaps for everyone…doesn’t matter who goes first

    Rockstar,

    I fear that if DMc is still standing at halftime it is because the Raiders would have lost the ball-possession war.

  204. RaiderRockstar Says:

    whats up Marley?

    “talent-wise, it’s an even matchup.”

    Agreed. they have a better OL and RB, but we have better receivers & secondary. pass rush is amazing and JCamp at QB gets us to average at the very least

    besides Tulluck & Finnegan the Titans have a no-name defense and VY flat out sucks imo

    I agree with you there Rockstar! Also…welcome Guest…
    I agree with your rant…why move Scott back to DE…and what did Groves do to beat out Scott at LB? I guess that is why we are not coaches…but…

  206. M Lonetree Says:

    Hwnrdr,

    watching the game last night I thought of something we had discussed some while back.
    Viking defensive tackle Pat Williams plays two plays and then comes to the sideline sucking wind.
    Ah to have the stamina of Polynesia outrigger paddlers…!

  207. RaiderRockstar Says:

    I fear that if DMc is still standing at halftime it is because the Raiders would have lost the ball-possession war.

    ***

    M, did you see all the amazing RB’s that had fumblitis the first 4-6 years in the league?

    they showed it last night and talked about AP’s fumble problem last year. He held the rock tight all night and had some bruising runs. You could tell that Saints defenders were trying to dislodge the ball on every carry – to no avail

  208. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I’m a little worried about Figurs back there on punts.

    He looked OK on kickoff’s (other than the fumble in the 49er game) but looked totally lost on PR.

    The last thing we can have is our defense getting a stop and than fumlbing or muffing a punt.

    the Williams wall collapsed last night in the 2nd half.

    the Saints have a great pair of guards in Nicks & Evans – makes me sad to see Cooper Carlisle starting here when we could have signed Alan Faneca in free agency (or let Langston play RG)

  211. hwnrdr Says:

    LOL…you know, I have to tell ya…That one year that I actually paddled canoe…just one year…even though I drank and smoked, I was in the best shape of my life! All that running on the sand and doing drills in the sand…by the time we took it to the water…it was easy! Maybe the Raiders should hold camp on a “White…Sandy Beach…in Hawaii”…maybe…

    P.S. Morning, Nation!

  214. M Lonetree Says:

    Hwnrdr,

    such a training camp as you suggest in Hawaii would have the players whining about it being too hard, but the players families would be all for it.

  215. Just Fire Baby Says:

    JFB: how big of an impact will your boy McClain have, facing Titans RB Chris Johnson this Sunday ???

    projected stats for CJ2K?

    ********************************

    I think McClain will have a bigger impact on putting some hits on people, the screen game and in the passing game and blitzing.

    CJ scorched some good D’s last year, with good MLB’s, so a tough task to ask a rookie in his first game to make a big difference agains the best back in the NFL.

    22 carries 148 yards, 3 catches 14 yards.

  216. M Lonetree Says:

    Rockstar,

    I wasn’t referring to McFumble, I was referring to McInjuredAgain.

  217. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Who will have more rushing yards this weekend, Darren, Rock or Bennett?

    I’ll take Cartwright.

  218. RaiderRockstar Says:

    AP said he was the best RB in football and had 101 all purpose yards last night. ZERO TD’s

    I expect a bigger night than that from DMAC!

    McFadden is prepping to be the Raiders’ workhorse until Bush returns. Oakland also will lean more on backups Michael Bennett and Rock Cartwright.

    “That’s one of the things the coaches talk about, that there’s not a big drop-off from the first guy to the last guy,” McFadden said. “We’re looking to go out and prove we are a contender, we’re not just a pushover.”

    McFadden wants to show that’s true of himself, too. Quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in 2007, was released after three disappointing seasons. Now critics are lining up to take their shots at McFadden.

    “I know what I’m capable of doing, so I just want to go out there and put it out there on the field,” he said. “For me, you try not to think about it, you just do it.”

    Some wonder if McFadden can. Cable, in his second full season as the Raiders’ coach, is among those with questions about the third-year running back.

    “I think everybody is waiting to see Darren stay healthy,” Cable said. “If you look at his production, it’s been pretty good when he has played. That’s what we want to see, just that consistent ability for him to go out there and stay on the field. When he does that, then all those questions or issues or whatever they are will be handled by him.”

  219. RaiderRockstar Says:

    22 carries 148 yards, 3 catches 14 yards.

  222. Just Fire Baby Says:

    wow man, and you actually see us losing ???

    **************************************

    I see ways we can win, but it isn’t going to be on CJ unless we hold him to 65 yards or something.

    We need to score points, have long drives, win the ST battle, not miss FG’s and win the turnover margin.

    If we do that we have a chance.

    No suprsie, but I am a tad concerned with Campbell out there. Last we saw of him, he was leaving on a cart. Tough transition from a cart ride, to a 20/32 225 yard no turnover day (which is what we will need) two weeks later.

    I think JCamp is capable of AT LEAST that.

    I see the Raiders WR’s actually being a strength against the Titans weak secondary. We could even take a blueprinn from the Saints if Hue Jackson doesn’t feel confident in the running game with Bush out …

    spread’em out wide in the first half (1 rushing attempt?) – run it down thier throats in the second half when the fat guys on the D-Line are tired and our RB’s are fresh

    Rockstar,

    last night Payton designed a perfect play for Reggie. An underneath slant to give him space. Brees hits him in stride, no defender with 7 yards of him, open space to work with and all Reggie did was run straight at the nearest DB and jump up in the air to be easily tackled resulting in an 8 yard gain. No juke, no schwerve, no nothin’. Straight DMc.
    A Barry Sanders would’ve made 40-60 yards on that play.

    Don’t give them a chance for a big return, make them earn every yard.

    We gotta’ get an early lead, and force VY to beat us through the air.

    If the Tight-ones get an early lead, that will make it easier for CJ2K to wear us down and milk the clock.

    Hell no, the Tight-ones are well coached to be sure, but they don’t the offensive firepower to put up that many points on our Defense.
    The Tits are more of a power run, juice the clock and play good defense team – or at least that’s my opinion.

    I think Norco is just trying to be funny, Vegas (oddsmakers) has them giving 6, and that’s probably the best prediction available.

    However, all teams are 0-0 (cept Vikes and Saints) so anything can happen.

    Why go to the grocery store when there is a perfectly good DEER, Bear, Pig ect… down the road about 3 miles?

    ——————————————————

    If you are going to eat it, fine.

    Like I said, no problem with I’m hungry let me go get some food.

    **********

    Ok, agreed.

    Jhill,

    hunting is a sport. it’s competitive like anything else

    hunters (like bimbos) always try to show off the rack!

    Raccoon,

    I don’t have problems with hunting, but I never understood the hanging head of an animal looking right at you.

    I just wonder why Minnesota gave up on Peterson again? Favre isnt gonna carry them this year. They need to lean on AP, he will wear defenses out and get better as the game goes on…

    ====================================================

    The problem is that Favre runs that team. Childress is his b1tch.

    People who want animals’ heads around them scare me. What is wrong with pictures?

    —————————————————–

    Exactly O!

    RRS, pos in law is an avid fisherman. Those lakes and creeks in Texas are no joke. I’m down with that all day, but we eat what we catch.

    There are some farms in the family. But again, all the animal slaughtering is done for food.

    The sport hunting is what I don’t understand. Not bashing it, to each his own. But I just sniggle to myself when I run into some of these old timers bragging about the heads on their wall. Again, not impressed with you having an elephant gun and the animal not really knowing what he’s getting into, if you will.

    Childress has gained up about 30 pounds and looks like crap.

    Brett Favre is literally killing Chilly!!!

    Raccoon,

    I don’t have problems with hunting, but I never understood the hanging head of an animal looking right at you.

    ***************************

    The head thing is kinda like hanging a 3-D picture. I personaly just screw the Antlers the the wall in my garage. The Antlers are not my motivation for hunting.

  414. J Hill Says:

    Adult giggling ????

    Jhill: sounds like a great time man – we eat the deer that we kill too, but if we kill a big buck, it’ll be mounted. if the head freaks you out theres always a European mount (bone only)

    ——————————————————

    Actually now that I think about it, it probably means sarcastic giggling.

    My wife always asks me what I’m sniggling about. 15 years later I have absorbed the term into my vocabulary.

    I’ll ask for clarification when she wakes the phugg up, lol.

  418. RNOraiderFan Says:

    Wondering if the Titans will try to go 3 WRs and put us in a nickle? If they do will the Raiders roll big/strong nickle or go base. Even if the Titans go 3 WRs, they are still going to give the rock to CJ.

  422. RNOraiderFan Says:

    with only two Lbs on the field CJ might do some damage.

    we’ve already beat Trevor Scott & Yamon Figurs to death, why not?

  424. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    The Raiders need to put 8 in the box…. We cant afford for CJ to make giant runs

    Hey Big B–don’t leave me out…after watching last nights game i can’t see how we won’t have the best shot in years..only this time we WIN the opener against the nashville oilers

  426. RNOraiderFan Says:

    Man I hope McClain is going to be good. No more 1rst rounders underpreforming PLEASE!

  427. Raider O Says:

    Raccoon,

    No sir it’s not! lol

  428. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Darrius Heyward-Bey will be the best WR on the field for either team … 7 catches, 135 yards, TD

  429. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    I dont have a problem with T.Scott as much as I do with Figurs

    She is WITHOUT question on the payroll. Who the heck do you think is paying for all of this?

    Why do you think I am about to start ANOTHER business under the guidance of the head monkey Raider O?

    Trevor Scott & Yamon Figurs

    ——————————————————

    Who ????

  435. RNOraiderFan Says:

    8 in the box sounds good, like a 4-4 front. with MM playing hybrid style LB and S, or a rover if thats what you want to call it.

  436. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    Kenny Britt gets shut down and we focus on CJ and will win the game

  437. RNOraiderFan Says:

    RR, will the rook be in if we are in the nickle? Which two LBs will be in the Nickle?

  438. RNOraiderFan Says:

    Howard and Wimbley?

  439. RaiderRockstar Says:

    seriously? good for you J!

    I thought Raider O was the Lion King or the Lizard King? now he’s been reduced to a talking monkey ???

    ouch

    I got you down 1960RAIDER

  441. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    Calm down Raccoon….Got excited seeing to of the things I love in the same blog…..HUnting/Raiders Football….Really theres nothing better

  442. J Hill Says:

    The Raiders need to put 8 in the box…. We cant afford for CJ to make giant runs

    ——————————————————-

    I don’t know about this. Big runs often happen against 8 man fronts because you only need one crease.

    What we NEED to do is have a front 4 of Seymour-Kelly-Henderson, and ShoNasty with Houston and Alford seeing A LOT of snaps!

    ***

    I’m not a coach man, but I think there’s a difference between “big nickel” and regular nickel packages.

    to my understanding #53 comes in and a safety goes out in the BN – just reg nickel I’m guessing Groves comes out or plays End

    Why not?

    An hour away, and he say he can show me a good business investment? I’m always down for that. Probably hollar at him by the first of the year. Need to save up some $. (which is why I can’t afford increased “payroll”, lol).

  446. Bo Schembechler Jackson Says:

    Go Hurricanes tomorrow!

  447. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    Front 4 sounds nice but I wouldnt mind puttin Mitchell in the box..Chris Johnson Doesnt like to get hit and say thats why he’s so effective because he gets around the corner

    Agreed

    Scott, Groves & Wimbley are pass rushing beasts that will be on the field often though. We’ll see how it all plays out in 2 days

  449. RNOraiderFan Says:

    Is it Sunday yet???? I’m haveing a kickoff party, I even invited a lone Titans fan for entertainment.

  450. The Big Banana Says:

    ====================================================

    Agreed. I’d like to see this team say ‘alright, let’s see what you got, Vince’

  451. J Hill Says:

    McClain NEVER comes off the field.

    Nickel is McClain and Howard at LB with Wimbley and Scott at DE.

    Have NO idea why they call that a big nickle, Initially there was a formation where one LB came off the field and MM34 came in. THAT was the big nickel.

  452. RedneckRaider Says:

    4-4? We’ll be coming out in a 5-3… think about everything you’ve seen or heard that didn’t make sense… It’s all so clear now…

    Who would YOU start in a 5-3, nation?

    Yes, there is a diffrence. Sometimes when the Raiders go Big/Strong they go 3 down Linemen 3 LBs and 5 DBs.

    Isn’t obvious guys?!?!?

    Hopefully we will see those guys on 1st and 10 a lot. It will put them in the down and distance on 2nd and 3rd where we can bring in all those pass rushers like Scott, Wimbley, etc.

    Man I hope we don’t phugg this off! It’s right there for us!
